An Australian couple tries to fix their marriage with a camping trip to the beach in this Ozploitation classic. But they unthinkingly trash the environment - killing a kangaroo, starting fires, hacking down trees - so, after a tense build-up, nature gets its revenge via insects, birds and a literally creepy dugong.
Beforehand, Vanessa Morgan (author of When Animals Attack: The 70 Best Horror Movies About Killer Animals) frames this film in the crazy world of eco-horror.
